The Romantic Cultivator

Herald Ma Laide looked amused, "How are you going to prove it to us…."

As he said that, there was a silhouette of her shadow that flashed past him and Ding Xiaoxiao had disappeared from her seat.

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes when he saw that: Not bad. She is pretty fast but my eyes are faster…

Ding Xiaoxiao had suddenly flashed to grab Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang by her neck and had smashed her against the celestium walls, causing Holy Yue Wushuang to yell aloud with a terrifying scream.

This startled everyone, including Ji Yuan who had thought that Ding Xiaoxiao had wanted to slap Herald Ma Laide.

It was only then that Millenium Jun Feitian and Herald Ma Laide had realized what were going on as they tried to save Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang by attacking Ding Xiaoxiao.

But to their horror, they were swung like they were nothing with just a swing of her scabbard and they were coughing out golden blood as they got slammed against the walls! 

They just could not believe it because the two of them were 7th realm cultivators and this should not even be happening! 

As they tried to step forward again, they were quite startled that they were experiencing great pains in their bodies and it was only then that they had realized that their golden bodies had cracks on the places that Ding Xiaoxiao had struck them…

Once again, they were in disbelief as they could not even sense when Ding Xiaoxiao had mustered her profound strength and were totally unprepared to resist her…

Ding Xiaoxiao did not have to display her profound animus to use her full profound strength because these two cultivators are not Ji Yuan and they are not even in the league of a 7th realm super cultivator like Ji Yuan. 

Ji Yuan naturally could see what was going on; the two of them had been oppressed by Ding Xiaoxiao's killing intents and their reactions had slowed down and moreover they got attacked when they were mustering their profound strength to their divine swords, hence they were quite defenseless on the areas that Ding Xiaoxiao had chosen to strike them.

As Herald Ma Laide and Millenium Jun Feitian tried to stand up again, Ding Xiaoxiao said to them without turning her back. "If you dare to move a little then don't blame me if you were to lose your heads."

They had immediately turned ashen immediately at her words, especially when they could sense her killing intents oppressing upon them, suffocating them with her presence; their state of divinities with her was simply too vast! 

Ding Xiaoxiao was now smiling to Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang who was also suffocating from the grip that was on her neck, "Did you plant this profound device in Ji Yuan's personal room yourself? Will he be so stupid to leave something as obvious as this profound device in his personal room and to wait for you to discover?"

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes when he had heard her: I am stupid?! 

Ding Xiaoxiao smiled coldly to Yue Wushuang, "One falsehood from you and I will snap your neck. Hurry and tell me."

All the others were startled by Ding Xiaoxiao when she had suddenly made her move.

The Cardinal Patriarch panicky said, "We can talk easy here…"

Even the Cardinal Herald was panicky saying, "This isn't right. This is coercion…" 

Ji Yuan was also frowning because he was not the type that would force a maiden to submit by interrogating in this manner; he preferred a gentler touch even though he was the victim in this case and he should be happy that Ding Xiaoxiao was helping him in this manner. 

The thing was, Ji Yuan did not really care if he was framed or not despites his stupid expressions that were being displayed; he was used to being framed almost all the time anyway. 

Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang gasped panicky and was as white as sheet; even though this Ding Xiaoxiao had not ask her to swear by her soul sea but she had every reason to believe that she was serious about killing her.

The crimson eyes of this Ding Xiaoxiao that were gazing upon her was like someone that had killed uncountable strong cultivators and reeked of death despites her alluring and beautiful face.

At this moment, death permutated into deep recess of her soul and she did not want to die! 

She choked weakly, "Herald Ma Laide… he forces me to do it…"

Ding Xiaoxiao displayed no emotion but said nonchalantly as she tightened her grip on Holy Yue Wushuang's neck, "Force you? Why should he force you?"

Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang hesitated for a while before she gasped out painfully, "He… is my lover…."

Herald Ma Laide had turned ashen immediately…

Millenium Jun Feitian turned to stare coldly at Herald Ma Laide, "Is this true?!!!"

He had turned green because all along he had thought that Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang was his maiden! 

The two of them are making use of him all this while?

Then what about Confidant Ur Muyuan? 

But Herald Ma Laide did not dare to say anything; this was a secret that was between Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang and himself! 

This piece of news shocked all the others in the great hall.

The most shocked was naturally Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen who had never thought that her own Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang was in cahoots with Herald Ma Laide and she was even his secret lover!

Ding Xiaoxiao hummed coldly at this reply and asked again, "So this profound device actually belongs to Herald Ma Laide and not Ji Yuan."

Although this sounded like a question but it was also not a question. 

Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang pleaded panicky, "Yes, it belongs to Herald Ma Laide. Please spare me and let me go, heroine…"

As Ding Xiaoxiao let go off Holy Harpy by dropping her on the ground to recover, she winked in the direction of Ji Yuan. "See. I have found the proof of your innocence."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

He began to rub his chin as he said weakly, "This is… really… fast." 

The Cardinal Patriarch was now staring coldly at Herald Ma Laide, "What do you have to say now?"

Herald Ma Laide panicky said, "Wait! Do you remember that I have just reported to all of you that the Great Patriarch Sword Saint is long dead? Well…"

He had suddenly pointed at Ji Yuan and said coldly, "I have proof also that this lowly human has been marauding as the Great Patriarch Sword Saint!"

When he had said that, Millenium Jun Feitian, the Cardinal Patriarch, the Cardinal Pope, the Cardinal Herald and even Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang were all looking stunned. 

Not looking at all surprised, were Juan Xian'Er, Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng, Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen, Xuan Qiaoqiao and Ding Xiaoxiao.

The Cardinal Patriarch asked Herald Ma Laide solemnly, "Where is your proof?"

Herald Ma Laide began to smile wryly as he clapped his hands thrice and Confidant Ur Muyuan had walked quietly into the great hall. 

He then stared coldly at Ji Yuan, "Confidant Ur Muyuan is able to be my witness that this lowly human is masquerading as our Great Patriarch Great Saint!" 

 Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng was surprised to see Confidant Ur Muyuan. After all, she was one of her own elders from the Argos Palace! 

Confidant Ur Muyuan displayed a faint smile as she entered into the great hall, "Confidant Muyuan greets all the Cardinals and senior elders…"
